On the frozen surface of the Flowage, Popp's Resort sets out cozy, propane‑heated ice shanties that you can drive right up to when the roads are plowed and the ice is thick enough. The operator supplies the shelter and drills the holes; guests supply their own ice‑fishing equipment and the stories that make a day on the ice memorable.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE SHANTY

Propane‑Heated Shelter Ready to Fish

Rentals include a shanty with propane heat so you can stay warm while you fish; the operator provides the structure and heat as part of the rental.

THE ACCESS

Drive Right Onto the Ice

When conditions permit, roads are plowed out onto the ice so you can drive your vehicle directly to the shack, making gear transfer and setup straightforward.

THE PROCESS

We Drill — You Fish

The operator drills the holes in the shanty before your arrival; you bring your own rods, tackle, and other ice‑fishing equipment to make the catch.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

A day in the rental is simple and focused: arrive with your gear, drive onto the plowed ice when it's safe, step into a heated shanty where the operator has already drilled the holes, and spend hours fishing and trading stories — all without overnight accommodation in the shack.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
CouplesWell‑suited: the rental is limited to two people, making it a compact, private day for partners who bring their own gear.
2
Two FriendsIdeal for two anglers looking for a simple, chauffeured‑setup day on the ice where the operator readies the shanty and drills the holes.
3
FamiliesNot a fit for larger family groups because the rental is capped at two people; families should consider separate reservations or alternate arrangements.
4
Solo AnglersPossible but suboptimal: solo anglers can rent the shanty, but the two‑person maximum and the need to supply your own equipment are key considerations.
